Pineapple Fritters

The pineapple can be peeled, sliced, and cut up to 4 hours ahead; store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and pat completely dry before using. The batter should be made fresh just before frying for optimal texture.

Fritters are best served immediately while hot and crisp. If necessary, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in a 375°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore some crispness, though they will not be as good as freshly made.
